Hi Nick,
You'll see these messages at boot time as the kernel
is set with proper values by the init scripts.
kernel.panic is the number of seconds after a kernel
"panics" that the machine will auto reboot
kernel.sysrq enables the the Magic SysRq key which
is useful in debugging your system when
things go amok.
Cheers,
Sean
